And FSC-certified wood was found to be the most specified green-building product in McGraw-Hill’s database of 60,000 project specifications collected annually, surpassing even EnergyStar.

FSC US is committed to providing quality education and service to the green building community.

With more than a thousand FSC Chain-of-Custody certified construction product suppliers in the U.S. alone, and thousands more globally, it has never been easier to find and use FSC-certified products in green building.
